\nNeuer\u2019s World Cup medal from 2014 and the 2013 Champions League winners medal grants
\nhim a spot on the pitch.<\/p>\n
Bursting onto the scene in the 2010 World Cup for Germany, the boy from Gelsenkirchen and
\nballboy at the 2004 Champions League final has gone from strength to strength, becoming
\nEurope's finest since Lev Yashin.<\/p>\n
Modri\u0107 also won UEFA Best Player in the same year.<\/p>\n He was a part of the Real Madrid side that won four Champions Leagues and two La Liga\u2019s.<\/p>\n Modri\u0107 captained Croatia to the World Cup final in 2018, losing to France in the end, but Although Kant\u00e9 wasn\u2019t a household name at the beginning of the decade, he sure is now.<\/p>\n Kant\u00e9 rose to stardom when he was pivotal to Leicester City\u2019s impossible Premier League triumph in 2016.<\/p>\n Kant\u00e9 moved to Chelsea that summer and won the Premier League again in 2017, and was the unsung hero as part of France\u2019s World Cup victory in 2018.<\/p>\n Like Claude Makelele before him, Kante is the engine of any team.<\/p>\n Toni Kroos<\/strong> completes the midfield.<\/p>\n The German playmaker has been incredibly successful for the best part of a decade, and became Kroos won the 2014 World Cup with Germany – the only player born in former East Germany in Kroos and Bayern Munich conquered Germany on two occasions by winning the Bundesliga, as Kroos moved to Real Madrid in 2014 for a mere 30 million Euro, where he became the core of At any given moment, Cristiano Ronaldo<\/strong> is either the best or second-best footballer in the world.<\/p>\n We\u2019ll let An Focal readers decide which position he is.<\/p>\n Ronaldo has won four Ballon d\u2019Or\u2019s since 2010, along with three UEFA Best Player awards.<\/p>\n Ronaldo was pivotal in all four of Real Madrid\u2019s Champions League victories, as well as Ronaldo won two La Liga titles with Real Madrid and one Serie A with Juventus – an undisputed How could you make this list without Lionel Messi<\/strong>?<\/p>\n Like Ronaldo, Messi is seen by many as the best player to ever grace a football pitch.<\/p>\n With his natural flair and technique, it\u2019s difficult to disagree.<\/p>\n Messi also has four Ballon D’Ors to his name along with two UEFA Best Player awards.<\/p>\n Messi has won seven La Liga and two Champions League medals since 2010 and scores pretty Neymar<\/strong> rounds out the team, Neymar has one Champions League victory under his belt so far That trophy cabinet is relatively bare compared to say, Aguero or Suarez, but Neymar can flip a It’s easy to forget Neymar is still only 27, so strap in for the next few years folks; he’s gunning to Substitutes: Buffon, Hummels, Varane, Silva, Hazard, Suarez, Aguero.<\/strong><\/p>\n![\"Image](\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/wCrQ34RvHTU\/maxresdefault.jpg\")
\nDani Alves<\/strong> gets the nod for the right-back position.
\nThe most decorated player in football history had quite a fruitful decade.
\nAlves has won eight domestic league titles in Spain, Italy, and France since 2010, which means
\nhe has won 8 out of a possible nine league titles.
\nThrow in two Champions League\u2019s and Confederations Cup success with Brazil, and it\u2019s a no-
\nbrainer.<\/p>\n![\"Image](\"https:\/\/s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com\/investobet\/media\/a33o\/post-hero\/MBT3G8.jpg\")
\nSergio Ramos<\/strong> starts alongside Alves.
\nRamos is one of the best defenders to grace the football pitch and the last decade proves that.
\nRamos was a part of the Golden generation of Spanish football that saw Spain triumph at the
\n2010 World Cup and Euro 2012.
\nAt club level, Ramos won two La Liga titles and four Champions League medals.
\nRamos became captain of Real Madrid when club legend Iker Casillas moved to FC Porto in
\n2015, and hasn’t looked back since.<\/p>\n![\"Image](\"https:\/\/imagevars.gulfnews.com\/2018\/12\/17\/181217_Sergio_Ramos_resources1_16a08543c0b_large.jpg\")
\nG\u00e9rard Pique<\/strong> completes the centre-back pairing.
\nLike his compatriot Sergio Ramos, Pique was part of the Golden Generation of Spanish football
\nthat won the 2010 World Cup and Euro 2012.
\nPique and FC Barcelona won seven La Liga titles this decade with two Champions League
\ntriumphs – not bad for a player Manchester United let go for peanuts in 2008.<\/p>\n![\"Image](\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/i\/pix\/2015\/06\/06\/23\/2968FA5500000578-3113834-image-a-43_1433628711177.jpg\")
\nMarcelo<\/strong> completes the backline.Marcelo and Real Madrid won four Champions League\u2019s and two La Liga titles.
\nMarcelo saw success on the international stage too, with a Confederation\u2019s Cup victory with his
\nhomeland of Brazil in 2013.
\nMarcelo isn’t the flashy bullet train of his oft-compared hero Cafu, but he’s been a solid 8\/10
\nweek in week out for a decade, which warrants his place in the team.<\/p>\n![\"Related](\"https:\/\/img.fifa.com\/image\/upload\/t_l4\/b3glxdpyutywrywr7kt2.jpg\")
